Files- .eml

Post by jmjhome »

Hello,

Can .eml files be converted into another format? Such as jpg? How does one do this, is there a good software program to do this?

I am using Linux Mint 7 KDE

Cheers
Anthony

  • I hope you would know where the file came from, and how it was created (by which windows program)...
Emm, err No!
--well you could change them, but it won't work

That file type is an outlook express mail file

  • based on that explanation, if you change it to .mht, it might be readable with a program that can read .mht files, like the opera 10 web browser

Hello,

Thank you for reply.

I decided to try this:
This file was on a webpage, someone used it as a picture file. In this case click on the link to see pictures. However, it did not work.
So what I did was download the eml file, email it from one of my email accounts to the other, then opened it with Thunderbird and then I could see the pics on the email.

I was surprised it was an eml file.

Again thank you for your time

Cheers
Anthony
